Casey Counts Down to Winter Break...and Finals Being Over!

So this week has been the most stressful week of college. It's "dead week," and let me clarify that it doesn't mean what it sounds like I have learned. See the way I looked at dead week was that we had no homework, most classes are cancelled, and just lots of time to study for finals and finish our final papers. Well guess what....lucky me! That is not how it was. I did have three morning classes cancelled this week, but I have had a ton of homework and stuff to do. I had a math test on Saturday at 7:30 in the morning. Fun, I know. Instead of starting to review for the final Monday in that class, we have been learning new stuff, and not just easy to learn things, I mean really hard stuff that if I'm lucky I will understand by the final. Ah college gotta love it. On top of that I have my minimum of six-page paper due for English on Friday, but also I have a second paper we just got assigned due Friday in that class. So I get to waste time I could be spending on my final paper, which is worth a big percent of my grade, on a paper that's only worth five points. Talk about stress levels skyrocketing. I have not had time to do anything I have wanted to do this week. About all I got to do that I needed to do, besides study and homework, was do my two weeks of laundry that couldn't wait any longer.

I definitely cannot wait for this week to be over. I get to go home next Wednesday and sit on my butt at home for three weeks. It is going to be great! Yes I will miss my friends a lot and miss my boyfriend a ton, but this break is much needed. I cannot wait to have the feeling of having nothing at all to do or worry about. Even more exciting once I get back to school I will have a new batch of fun classes! I cannot wait till my new classes, they will be much more interesting because I am done with my core classes. Also I am so excited because next semester my weekend starts at 11am on Thursday every week because I have one class till 11 on Thursday then no classes Friday. How lucky am I that I pretty much always have a four-day weekend? I'm going to be living every kid's dream—more days of weekend then of school. But with all that extra time it'll be nice to be able to study more. But I hope everyone has a great weekend and wish me luck on my two finals!!!!
